From Turnford to Botswana: The Rise of England U21 Netballer George Fisher

Whether she’s on court, brick laying or belting out song after song in carpool karaoke, George Fisher bubbles with enthusiasm.

She’s enjoyed a meteoric rise in netball since she was 11 years old and playing for Turnford NC but remains unfazed by her success.

In fact, she credits others with her sensational development.

Speaking exclusively to Sports Gazette about where it all began, she said: “I was at a schools tournament and Kat Titmuss asked me to go along to a trial.

“I couldn't catch or throw a ball very well but funnily enough I was very tall!

“They invested a lot of time in me and by the time I was 12, I was selected for regional training and the rest just snowballed from there!”

From fittingly winning Player of the Match on St George’s Day to being part of the Wasps squad crowned Superleague champions in their inaugural season, it’s been a particularly impressive few months for the 18-year-old.

She’s also just been offered a full-time contract for 2017/18 by England Netball.
